  Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact Good evening all, first of all i'm pretty new at this and only have a basic knowledge about the subject. Sorry for that, so please be gentle. 1st of all we delvelopen a website with CMS on a local machine (apache xampp) After testing it on a linux server the website looks like it supposed too.  But now the site needs to be up and running on a windows IIS7 server, I asked the webhosting provider to install the Rewrite-module. He also converted our .htacces file. During the conversion there was 1 note "RewriteBase not supported" or something. All the clean url's work perfectly now. (even multilanguage nl(dutch) en (english). The issue: The site doesnt seem to display the CSS or images. It's also not possible connecting to them directly using for examp. www.mysite.com/css/style.css or www.mysite.com/images/screen.jpg When i try this, simply nothing happends. I really hope someone could help me with this issue. I really don't know where to look. So basically i cannot reach files others than index.php     Thanks in Advance   This is the original .htacces file _______________________________________________________________________ <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(?:(en|nl)\/?)?([-a-z0-9_\/]+\/?)?$                index.php?language=$1&path=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}    [L,NC] </IfModule> # BEGIN ImageResizing <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / # scaling small_thumb, thumb, klein, normaal RewriteRule ^thumb/([A-Za-z0-9/_-]+).(jpeg|jpg|JPG|JPEG|gif|png)$ images.php?max_width=175&max_height=240&imgfile=$1.$2 RewriteRule ^right/([A-Za-z0-9/_-]+).(jpeg|jpg|JPG|JPEG|gif|png)$ images.php?max_width=260&max_height=350&imgfile=$1.$2 RewriteRule ^normal/([A-Za-z0-9/_-]+).(jpeg|jpg|JPG|JPEG|gif|png)$ images.php?max_width=640&max_height=640&imgfile=$1.$2 RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^/ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /nl/$1 [L,R=301] </ifmodule> # END ImageResizing   The result of the conversion _________________________________________________________________           <rewrite>             <rules>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 1" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^(?:(en|nl)\/?)?([-a-z0-9_\/]+\/?)?$" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?language={R:1}&amp;path={R:2}&amp;{QUERY_STRING}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 2">                     <match url="^thumb/([A-Za-z0-9/_-]+).(jpeg|jpg|JPG|JPEG|gif|png)$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="images.php?max_width=175&amp;max_height=240&amp;imgfile={R:1}.{R:2}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 3">                     <match url="^right/([A-Za-z0-9/_-]+).(jpeg|jpg|JPG|JPEG|gif|png)$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="images.php?max_width=260&amp;max_height=350&amp;imgfile={R:1}.{R:2}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 4">                     <match url="^normal/([A-Za-z0-9/_-]+).(jpeg|jpg|JPG|JPEG|gif|png)$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="images.php?max_width=640&amp;max_height=640&amp;imgfile={R:1}.{R:2}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 5" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">                         <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^/" />                     </conditions>                     <action type="Redirect" url="/nl/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />                 </rule>             </rules>         </rewrite>

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact The regular expression that you have in "Imported Rule 1" is too broad, i.e. it always matches. This causes two things: 1. None of the subsequent rules are ever executed. 2. It rewrites the requests for css and image files to index.php. To fix that you can do the following: 1. Add the following conditions to the "Imported Rule 1":  <conditions>                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> </conditions> This will cause to rule to not execute for css and image files. 2. Move the "Imported Rule 1" to the end of the rules list. http://ruslany.net

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact  Great, it works! Tough i bounced into the problem to only acces it by directly connecting to: http://mywebsite.com ( in this situation it works perfectly) but when i type in my url bar:  www.mywebsite.com i get no acces to my webpage. (www in front doest give me acces) I tried to figure this out together with my hosting company how to solve this "www" problem. He's aslo kinda new with the module. He suggested a quickfix ( index.html redirect  to http://mywebsite.com) this cant be the proper way to do it i guess?  Please hope you guys can help me again, will try not to bother again :P  Thanks again for the great help!   My rules so far: dir "backend" is for the CMS               <rules>                 <clear />                 <rule name="Imported Rule 1" enabled="true" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^(?:(en|nl)\/?)?([-a-z0-9_\/]+\/?)?$" negate="false" />                     <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />                         <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />                         <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/backend/" />                     </conditions>                     <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php?language={R:1}&amp;path={R:2}&amp;{QUERY_STRING}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 1-1" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^backend/([a-z0-9_]+)/?$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="backend/index.php?module={R:1}&amp;{QUERY_STRING}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 2" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^backend/([a-z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/?$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="backend/index.php?module={R:1}&amp;{R:1}:p={R:2}&amp;{QUERY_STRING}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 3" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^backend/([a-z0-9_]+)/([a-z_]+)/?$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="backend/index.php?module={R:1}&amp;action={R:2}&amp;{QUERY_STRING}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                 <rule name="Imported Rule 4" stopProcessing="true">                     <match url="^backend/([a-z0-9_]+)/([a-z_]+)/([0-9]+)/?$" ignoreCase="false" />                     <action type="Rewrite" url="backend/index.php?module={R:1}&amp;action={R:2}&amp;id={R:3}&amp;{QUERY_STRING}" appendQueryString="false" />                 </rule>                            </rules>         </rewrite>

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact It looks like your web site does not have binding to www.mywebsite.com host header. That is unrelated to URL rewriter and I do not think that solution with index.html redirect will help here. Here is the screenshot of how site bindings are configured in IIS 7 (http://learn.iis.net/Content_Cache/470/Site%20bindings.png). You need to make sure that your site has two site bindings: one that uses host header value mywebsite.com and another one that uses www.mywebsite.com . http://ruslany.net

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact  Thanks again for your quick help ruslany, I had a conversation with my hosting provider and all the site bindings where like the screenshot you provided. Maybe I misexplained; what i meant was when I approach my website www.mysite.com or mysite.com i want it to automatically go to www.mysite.com/nl/ How can i achieve this ? hope you can help again, would be great!  Thanks in advance!

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact If you want to always do a redirect to www.mysite.com/nl/ then you can use this rule: <rule name="Redirect" stopProcessing="true">         <match url="(.*)" />           <conditions>                         <add input="{URL}" negate="true" pattern="^/nl/?" />            </conditions>         <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.mysite.com/nl/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule> http://ruslany.net

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact  Thanks Ryslan, Great succes! My first try was putting it in as the 1st rule without succes, after replacing it, and placing it as the second rule it works perfectly. Thanks again for everything.

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact It looks like requests for css and images are redirected to www.venled.nl/nl/ because of the second rule. A possible way to prevent that is to add a few more conditions to the second rule that does redirection, so the rule's conditions will look as below: <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/backend/" /> <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/nl/?" /> http://ruslany.net

  Re: Images / CSS / files not visible/reachable Reply Contact Thanks for your quick reply Ryslany where close, all images are working now including the css. But when typing in www.venled.nl its not redirecting to www.venled.nl/nl/  a.t.m i tried as you suggested: (second rule) i left all the other rules intact. Thanks again.   <rule name="Redirect" stopProcessing="true">         <match url="(.*)" />           <conditions> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" /> <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/backend/" /> <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/nl/?" />            </conditions>         <action type="Redirect" url="http://www.venled.nl/nl/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" /> </rule>
